Glad to see you're trying a wabi kusa, Brian! They definitely add an element of freshness to the hobby. I can only assume you scoured TPT for useful threads but in the case that you missed Kiran's thread it's a very fun read (although his wabi kusa does go submerged pretty quickly): Coincidental Success: Kiran's Do!Aqua 20cm Wabi Kusa Cube. TPT user pweifan also has a bunch of very useful threads and all-in-all is just a really nice dude if you have any questions.
On the topic of cubes in case it hasn't been mentioned already Finnex has a really great deal on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Finnex-Rimles...F8&qid=1417153751&sr=8-1&keywords=finnex+cube. I have this combo and recently set up a buce/DHG scape. Really dig the quality for the overall price. More people need to try planted cube tanks!
